its called sushigirl yet I have a sneaking suspicion some of the posters are boys

this has been debunked many times

Are you reading it "sushi G IRL" or "sus hi girl"?
In first interpretation G might be for Girl or Guy, or even more likely Gangster as in OG.

Oh I hated that video. There were many things that were so grossly oversimplified to the point of misinformation, he also skipped a lot of nuances which is somewhat understandable because this is meant to be a video for a general audience, but his explanation of the axiom of choice, the main topic of the whole video, was so off. The reason we have an axiom of choice isn't because algorithms are incapable of producing random results (or "math formulas can't give random results. we need rules to choose" as he said) because one can simply using existential instantiation, something built into logic, to pick an arbitrary element from a non-empty set. The problem arises from the fact that picking an arbitrary element from infinitely many non-empty sets would require you to use existential instantiation infinitely many times, which is not built into logic and would require you to write an infinitely long proof or use transfinite induction (which is a theorem of ZF + axiom of choice and thus you would be simply using the axiom of choice indirectly).
There are many other things I could criticize in that video but I don't want to waste too much time on this.

By the way, this gross simplification and skipping of nuances is something I've noticed in a lot his recent videos too, especially the physics ones like feynman's quantum path integral formulation and noether's theorem, and it makes me wonder if all his videos are like this, but I simply don't notice because I only have an deep understanding of math and physics and not the other topics he talks about.
I know that I should be treating his videos as more entertainment than actual education and information, like all pop-sci content out there. They're made for a general audience so there is going to be some contortion of the facts to make things interesting/clickbait-y and a huge lack of rigor so that everyone can (only somewhat) understand and follow; however, a lot of the people watching take these videos as an actual substitute for textbooks and lectures and it is this process that creates a lot of the pseudo-intellectuals out there (think of a redditor) and gives fuel to the arrogance of cranks and midwits. I don't want to be an elitist but if you want to actually learn something, use actual academic sources, and do not speak like a know-it-all because you listened to neil degrasse tyson's ramblPost too long.

Yes, pretty much all of his videos are like this unfortunately.

>less time on the internet
Would that make a difference? Its already burned into my brain and everyone around me is using it. Turning it off isn’t an escape.

>>21952
>put that analysis towards positive expression. Less "this thing sucks" and more "I'd have preferred it this way"
So put things nicely? I’ve seen people who can do this but I suck at it. Like it’s a skill.

>>21954
Where? even this place gets spammed. Everywhere I go it’s just hatred and people screaming over each other.

>>21957
Yeah but then I worry about coming off as lame to people into that specific thing. Like if I listen to metal I start with beginner bands and I might like Metallica song but everyone who’s not a beginner won’t take you seriously. A lot of hobbies basically encourage you to be an asshole and mock basic friendly lady tatstes.

that was just a tongue in cheek comment, i'm aware that's not viable advice hence why i wrote everything else!!!

Have you thought about why you feel the impulse to be negative on the internet? For most people, I think it is some combination of jealousy and vanity.

Jealousy because you see other people showing off the best parts of their lives on the internet. People present a curated feed of their successes. If any failures are shared, they're "safe" failures that they are comfortable laughing about themselves. When you see all these wonderful experiences others are having while your own life is miserable, it's natural to express negativity towards them.

Vanity because other people have different opinions and preferences. They will write negative things about things that you believe or things that you like, which is an indirect criticism of you for believing or liking those things. Sometimes they will even directly criticize you as a person. It's natural to express negativity towards others who have directly or indirectly attacked you in this way.

Of course, knowing the cause doesn't mean it's easy to avoid it happening. Jealousy is perhaps easier to address, always keep in mind that the other people on the internet may be less happy than they seem on the surface. If they were truly happy, they probably wouldn't be spending so much time here. Vanity is, I think, more a matter of community. This is easier to achieve offline because people are more willing to accept others with a basic set of beliefs or interests and to avoid sensitive subjects unrelated to the community's purpose. On the internet, people are more prone to both writing criticisms of sensitive subjects unrelated to the community, and to oversharing about these subjects, which breeds negativity among the community as they attach each other's vanity.

Anyways, I don't have a magic solution, but when you see someone being negative towards you on the internet, it's important to remember that these impulses are natural part of life. Most negativity you receive isn't rooted in some sort of deep-seated hatred towards you, it's out of a person's frustration with their own life.

>So put things nicely? I've seen people who can do this but suck at it. Like it's a skill.
Less about putting it nicely and moreso using your analysis as a cause for self-expression. When you have grievances with a work or how someone is doing something, it's an opportunity to listen to yourself and understand better what it is that makes you feel that way. Being analytical and critical is examining the things around us, breaking them down into their component parts and figuring out why something works or doesn't work. A large part of that process is distinguishing what we like and don't like, and I'm saying you should focus more on what you like rather than what you don't. If you don't like something it's because it's lacking what you do like, and the fun part is in the exploration of the self that comes from learning between these two and the nuances therein.

I'm often most analytical and most critical of the things I love, because those are the things I think are worth really getting into the nitty gritty on. I can often come across to others as though I'm frequently complaining, but it's coming from a place of admiration and joy rather than frustration and hatred. If I see something that I well and truly dislike in its entirety, I'll either engage with it for the sake of challenging my own preconceptions, or I'll skip over it entirely and not give it a second thought. The fun is in engaging with something on both its merits and demerits.

>Yeah but then I worry about coming off as lame to people into that specific thing. Like if I listen to metal I start with beginner bands and I might like Metallica songs but everyone who's not a beginner won't take you seriously. A lot of hobbies basically encourage you to be an asshole and mock basic friendly lady tastes.
That seems more an issue with social anxiety rather than negativity and over-criticality, though I agree with that sushi roll's idea of avoiding outside opinions before trying it for yourself. I'm a big fan of going in blind into any piece of media I'm interested in, and often intentionally avoid any online discourse of that thing until I feel I'm ready to engage with people about it. As for your worries about jerks using their advanced knowledge to punch down at you, well there's always going to be those sorts,Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

just curious
can you give at least two real life examples of exactly this happening in the same order of causes?

i suggest starting with "Wage Labour and Capital" by Karl Marx, it's one of the shorter text made by Marx, concerning his economic theory.

if you like his ideas and want to read more, here's a list of what i have read so far: "Value, Price, and Profit" by Karl Marx, "Principles of Communism" by Friedrich Engels, "Socialism: Utopian and Scientific" by Friedrich Engels, "Critique of the Gotha Program" by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, and "The German Ideology" by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. most of these are under 100 pages and can be found for free on marxists.org (https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/index.htm)

i'm thinking of reading more of Marx's work (like an abridged version of Das Kapital volume 1,2, and 3 i found on the net, and one of his more earlier works concerning alienation within the work place) but i'm currently reading about other socialist organisational structures.

other socialist theories have their own understandings of Marx, so it's best to start with the man himself and then start reading about other Socialist theories.

>>21953
I don't like the tradition of pairing Marx's work with Engels. Its had a corrupting effect.

Yes, economics is pseudoscience at best malicious propaganda for elites at worst. Externalities is one of the biggest jokes of it along with the lie that GDP going up is inherently a good thing.

>>21807
Marx never actually detailed what communism, socialism would be in detail he only criticized capitalism and the economics and made predictions of it's end based off of historical analysis. So you may be disappointed depending what you want to understand. If you start with Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Peter Kropotkin, and Mikhail Bakunin for example you would get more I would imagine since Marx's views did not emerge from a vacuum and he often referenced other people. Also knowing Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative is needed. Hegel would be too difficult to approach for a beginner so forget it lol

If you want economics you'd be better off with someone more current like Paul Cockshott (setting aside his other views) or if you want someone more easy to digest and current then Richard D Wolff who is an economist. If you want something more futurist than political look into Jacque Fresco.

I had the Burzum shirt that had varg on the back with the medieval cosplay knives in his bedroom on the back. I outgrew it I've gotten fat in my 20's cause I only buy food as well. I don't like burzum and black metal either.

I prefer animals on my t-shirt.

I don't really have a problem with spending money when it's abundant, but i remember sometimes during college when my family was being harsh about money so I would mostly intermitently fast and eat mostly noodles. I'd gain weight again when travelled back home so I had stored fat to lose and supplement with vitamin pills and omega 3 pills lol. In the end I used most of this money on travels to see webfriends.
Also, for months i could only take cold showers, but it was because my roommate was supposed to buy the shower and the asshole would knock the neighbors house to take hot bath there instead, e v e r y morning. It became quite a fight with time. Honestly fuck that guy, terrible and lazy swindler.

I bought a new book. Haven't bought one for a loong time….

I still buy music & movies on disc despite in all…
